Still disolitude with it's user base it has to be tempting for them.
What if the wii became the lead console for development?
Just a tought.

The Rockstar would probably hang themselves, since they pretty much ignore the wii sans for a few halfarsed ports

 

 

No one would hang themselves. there are plenty of developers that dont do Wii at all(Valve, Epic, ID games)...and most others are doing half assed ports of their major titles (Ubisoft, Activision, Capcom). Very few devs are doing Wii only development and Segas platnum games seems to be one with madworld.

In any case, for wii to become the major developing platform this gen...hell would have to freeze over...and all people that are on the Jenny Craig diet would have to do a 4 minute mile. For devs to make Wii the major developing platform they would have to throw out all sense of visual and sound innovation and focus on controller innovation. This would mean that a well established studio like Valve would have no more experience in doing a Wii game than the guys who did Nijabread man.

And strictly speaking from a monitary perspective... Wii may outsell ps3 and 360 by more than 50% eventually but it will never outsell PC+PS3 +360 in games. PS360 do PC ports (somewhat....not crysis tho)...Wii doesn't.

I'm not to much up on the tech side it was more of a tought than anything else.
